CANDY GETS A CHUNK OF TEAM

Comic actor John Candy now has a football team. Candy, Los Angeles Kings superstar Wayne Gretzky and Kings owner Bruce McNall all pitched in to purchase a majority share of the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League. Candy, a native of the Toronto area like Gretzky, says he will get the Dan Aykroyd-led Blues Brothers band to perform at the Argonauts' season opener.
